Bots. Lots and lots of bots.

No idea, honestly. I know they finished and presented some demos related to detecting and classifying emotions, but I left a few months later.

Heads-up, there appears to be some astroturfing going around. This is not an impressive demo, I've seen better without brain implants. If anything, I'm more impressed that the test subject hasn't died yet.

I’d imagine they’re probably quite happy about it don’t you think?

Not if they're smart - We've had that tech for decades, without the need of an implant.

It's not going well - they could've done the same demo (assuming it's not fraudulent) with an EEG cap and no brain implant.

Last time I checked, WiFi didn't kill people simply because it exists.

Use a fucking EEG device, instead of opening their skulls and messing with their brains.

We've had brain-computer interfaces for DECADES, which didn't need to be inside the skull. This isn't bleeding-edge research, it's just a bloody edge used to kill research subjects.

I saw colleagues using a more robust device ~9 years ago, and it was bonkers. Completely puts Neuralink to shame.

Spoiler: they don't.

A blind person? Sure - there are ways to "cure" blindness by inserting chips into the brain, so I'll give them a pass. Paralyzed people, on the other hand, won't regain control of their own limbs, only have external actuators respond to their thoughts - we already had that technology. We've had it for decades, without the need of a brain implant.

Except it isn't.

We've had EEG cursors for decades. That shit isn't impressive either.

This is CERTAINLY not going to work well. There's NO benefit to having a chip inside people's brains when we already have the tech to read brain patterns from outside the skull. They could've spent their time and money making the algorithms for that type of sensor better. Instead, they've developed a way to kill disobedient slaves.

This shit has the potential to kill millions of humans, maybe even billions. I think it's about time to burn them to the ground.

It's not even an either-or, there are WEARABLE neural sensors which don't need to be installed inside your skull and can still read your brain patterns. This is clearly a kill button for the rich fucks to install in workers' slaves' heads.

Can you read?

Wearing a cap designed to measure brain activity players nod their head or blink their eyes, training the equipment to translate brain patterns associated with those motions into movement on-screen.

They only have a two input system because the experiment was made with two inputs in mind. I've seen a comercial wearable neural sensor in action ~9 years ago, being used in experiments by my colleagues. It can do a lot more than that.
